You know what's going to happen. The republicans are going to campaign on the minimum wage increase/ death tax decrease that was rejected yesterday by the senate. The republicans are going to say how the democrats voted against the minimum wage hike when that is not what happened.

You see what happened is the republicans made it impossible to vote for the bill in an election year tactic. The Death Tax, Estate Tax, Paris Hilton Tax whatever you wish to call it the republicans have been trying to get rid of it for years even though most people in the United States will not be effected by it. In other words it only effects the richest of the rich.

So when Republicans try to campaign on this in the fall remember what really happened. I won't forget I hope you don't either.

In order to determine my position on a Paris Hilton Tax, I would need to do an in-depth investigation of ALL of her assets...
